Can the US Get Out of Its Endless Wars?

by RICHARD LACHMANN Photograph Source: The U.S. Army – CC BY 2.0 Donald Trump in 2016 ran in opposition to the Iraq war and more generally to massive US commitments around the world. His denunciations of “endless wars” resonated enough that many voters ignored his documented early support for the Afghan and Iraq wars. Indeed, areas where casualties in those wars were highest voted more heavily for Trump than other demographic and economic factors would have predicted. Voters, with plenty of justification from her record as Secretary of State, thus pegged Hillary Clinton as a warmonger. Trump, at least so far, is a militarist too. He has yet to withdraw the remaining troops from Afghanistan or Iraq. In Syria, he ended up merely redeploying soldiers from the border w...

Feltman's paper confirms US sponsorship of the movement with its three ribs (by George Obaid)

Jeffrey Feltman' By George Obaid Whoever reads Jeffrey Feltman's speech to the US Congress, has just realized the meaning behind the lines. This is a man who has lived closely with Lebanon and the Lebanese, and has made friends with a number of politicians such as Walid Jumblatt, Saad Hariri, Fares Said, Ghattas Khoury, Fouad Siniora and others. In Lebanon, not only did Syria leave the country and implemented Resolution 1559, which dipped and baptized Rafik Hariri, it was, along with Condoleezza Rice and John Bolton, intent on striking Lebanon's stability and attracting it to the concept of creative chaos, embodied in the sectarian conflict between Shiites and Sunnis in order to strike Hezbollah. Then, no Amos strongly Israel to launch its war on Lebanon in the Fourth ...

Assange, Zuckerberg and Free Speech

by NICK PEMBERTON Photograph Source: Anthony Quintano – CC BY 2.0 “That philosophy died yesterday, since Hegel or Marx, Nietzsche, or Heidegger—and philosophy should still wander toward the meaning of its death—or that it has always lived knowing itself to be dying… that philosophy died one day, within history, or that it has always fed on its own agony, on the violent way it opens history by opposing itself to nonphilosophy, which is its past and its concern, its death and wellspring; that beyond the death, or dying nature, of philosophy, perhaps even because of it, thought still has a future, or even, as is said today, is still entirely to come because of what philosophy has held in store; or, more strangely still, that the future itself has a future—all these are unanswerab...

NSA Gave 'Israel' Access to All US Citizens' Communications Data, Leaked Documents Show

US also cooperated with helping Israelis conduct targeted assassinations against Hezbollah, no surprise there(RT) Frustrated by a legal ban on sharing intelligence with Israeli operatives conducting targeted assassinations against Hezbollah, the NSA crafted a loophole giving them total access even to US citizens' data, leaked documents show. The Israeli SIGINT National Unit (ISNU), the NSA's counterpart in Tel Aviv, convinced the Americans to circumvent the legal prohibition on providing surveillance data for targeted assassinations during Israel's 2006 war with Lebanon, according to the newest revelation from the archives obtained by whistleblower Edward Snowden. Using the familiar rationale of "terrorism" to excuse cooperation they knew was illegal, the NSA and ISNU found a ...

How Jimmy Carter and I Started the Mujahideen

by JEFFREY ST. CLAIR - ALEXANDER COCKBURN Q: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs [“From the Shadows”], that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that correct? Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And tha...

How Islamic Jihadism was Conceived as Antidote to Communism

By VT Editors  By Nauman Sadiq During the Soviet-Afghan conflict from 1979 to 1988 between the capitalist and communist blocs, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Arab States took the side of the former because the Soviet Union and the Central Asian states produced more energy and consumed less. Thus, the Soviet bloc was the net exporter of energy, whereas the capitalist bloc led by Washington was the net importer of energy. It suited the economic interests of the oil-rich Gulf countries to maintain and strengthen a supplier-consumer relationship with the capitalist bloc. Now the BRICS countries are equally hungry for the Middle East’s energy, but it’s a recent development. During the Cold War, an alliance with the industrialized world was predicated upon the economic interests of the G...

US Media Propaganda. Drawing “Liberals” and “Leftists” into the CIA’s Orbit. NPR

Will NPR Now Officially Change Its Name to National Propaganda Radio? By Edward Curtin Global Research, Back in the 1960s, the CIA official Cord Meyer said the agency needed to “court the compatible left.”  He knew that drawing liberals and leftists into the CIA’s orbit was the key to efficient propaganda.  Right-wing and left-wing collaborators were needed to create a powerful propaganda apparatus that would be capable of hypnotizing audiences into believing the myth of American exceptionalism and its divine right to rule the world.  The CIA therefore secretly worked to influence American and world opinion through the literary and intellectual elites. Frances Stonor Saunders comprehensively covers this in her 1999 book, The Cultural Cold War:...

‘NATO bombing of Yugoslavia paved way for 1 million civilian casualties worldwide’

RT Carried out under a false pretext and in disregard of the UN, the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999 paved the way for similar US-led operations in Iraq, Libya and elsewhere and over a million were killed, an analyst has told RT. NATO’s attack 20 years ago, which was launched “without declaring war and without any permission from the UN Security Council, was a transformative act which has changed the world ever since,” Marko Gasic, commenter on international affairs, said. “This formula… that you don’t need UN Security Council authorization was then implemented at the expense of Iraq and Libya and elsewhere. So far, the decision to bomb Yugoslavia has led to over a million casualties worldwide; and rising.” Back in 1999, the US and its allies launched airstrikes in what was...
